Time of Year trevor ..there are a lot on holiday ....we should be ??? off to lakes in morning for a couple of nights ...nice to look back especially down at Dawlish ..Dave
Lovely to see your 'old footage' Trevor....the modern stuff you do is excellent, and in years to come will be a record of the every day trains we take for granted....just like we took the 80's stuff for granted during the 80's
Yes Bill always a lot of 47s coming through Dawlish around that time coming from all different parts of the country.Glad you enjoyed the footage....Regards......Trevor.''
Its always nice to see these great engines doing there stuff Jeff.Loved Dawlish in the mid 80s with all 47s - 50s and HSTs coming through.....Cheers....Trevor.''
It seems you'd be likely to see an HST drag every time you went down to the West Country in those days! Some interesting period cars as well, and a Devon General Bristol VR before everything became minibuses.
The days when you'd rush home from work for an evenings spotting ,no need for realtime trains ..everyone a winner ! I still have my memories of the westerns,peaks,rats,and the first HSTs to run the seawall . I hope you get a bit more luck with the modern workings Trevor ! Andy
Great time Andy with all those different class of loco;s about around this time.Have got over 1100 subscribers on my channel but only a few like you that comment .Will have have a sort out if it doesn't get any better....Cheers...Trevor.''
+Trevor Ledgeway I wish I could get them in the first place lol ...but I couldn't agree more ,out of nearly 200 subs ,only a few bother to watch or comment. ! Keep them coming Trevor ,as I've always enjoyed them ! Andy
Really superb video Trevor, to think this was roughly 30 Year ago makes you feel old....Interesting to see the Clothes People wore then...lol. Cracking selection of 47's i must say...Not sure if my Eyes deceived me but in your closing shot were there two People walking the track? Also reading your description above....have your viewings been low lately ? ...That's how i read it . Keep up the excellent work.....Steve.-:)
Hi Steve and yes 30 years since i filmed this footage.Network Rail or what ever they were called were busy on the track if i remember right.As regards the views i have been getting it is very disappointing on the stuff i am filming now which i think is decent but its just the same few who bother to look and comment like yourself.Will give it a bit longer then decide what i am going to do...Thanks....Trevor.''
Awesome video mate thoroughly enjoyed it as i sadly wasnt around to see those sights Also a question. Were 47s hauling HSTs common at dawlish in the 80s?
My old home town! Lovely to see it. I drove a cab there when this was made, sat on the rank just below the station.

Thanks for the comment Dave...great days at Dawlish.Have a nice time at the lakes.....Trevor.'''
A different world then thankfulluy I had the pleasure of it.
Brilliant video!
A lot of coaches on those trains- enough for nearly everyone to have a seat!!
watching and listening to these trains, they remind me of East Germany during the same decade.
